Shakey Start

Nice, large Specialized BIKE SHIPPING BOX, with lots of padding!  Must pick up before Monday AM, 7/23.

Still have a box-O-tires, all 29” and all decent.  Yes, the whole box, maybe 8-10.

PM for address (Westlake area)

Any left? Looking for two tires for my more XC SS. 

 

Also thanks throet The side load bottle cage is perfect. I can just squeeze a full size bottle into my SS frame, where I previously could not. 

Yes, they are all left, ie it was raining and no one  wanted to get wet! 😉

Are you selling the clubs separately?  I'm interested in a sand wedge.  We have putters and sand wedges at the office we goof around with with nerf balls, and I miss that since I've been home (I'm not a golfer).  Just this seek I picked up a putter at Play it Again sports but I could not find a wedge.

Clubs separately.  Have several wedgies!

Good eye!  I've still got 3 if I recall correctly (2 still in wrapper).  But I've moved on to the 3" platform, but can't come to part with my venerable WWLT's

Yes, good eye.  Never been on a rim.

Box-0-Tires - All 29”, mostly around 2.35, all in good shape and none with cuts or punctures (as I remember)!

Spin Doctor bike stand - from this thread and was going to use as wash stand, but don’t want to move it, so out it goes.

Also, if anyone here is into golf (I doubt it) I have a bunch of clubs, putters, drivers, irons, etc. going CHEAP!

Got it done with my modified  1-1/4” socket, but thanks for the offer!

Panic over, I found that 1-1/4” socket is/was pretty close to 32mm, so I took the advice and belt sanded it down.  Not elegant but the spring has been changed!  If anyone needs it, lemme know!  BTW, that Push AC3 conversion kit is pretty sweet.

Need to switch out my spring on my 36 which needs a special socket...ok not so special, but I don’t have even a non-special 32 mm socket.  Anyone have one they want to sell, or...

Thanks for the links.  Yep, this is for a really old Ritchey stem.

Have a project that needs a handlebar.  Normal width is fine, but needs at least a 2” rise.

Txn, you’re right...my bad. 😞 

And the win goes to ......BRIAN’S USED TIRES! 

Paying it forward to a good home:  Just cleaning house. I have over a dozen tires, mostly 29”, but a few 700c roadies, and a few 27.5’s, I think.  They are useable, no holes, but may not be tubeless ready.  Most are NN type.  All or none please! 😐

Ok, went to FB and copied the paragraph: "Russell park has been closed this last week due to open in February for some serious upgrades and maintenance."

So , its Russell Park, NOT Cedar Breaks.  Sorry for the earlier wrong info.

Dragonslayer

Check out the Facebook posting.  I think that Cedar Breaks Park is closed.  I may head out Sat a.m. myself!

Anyone want to get rid of a mechanical set?

Yes, we always ride from Cedar Breaks Park, riding clockwise.

I meant to address the rear wheel specifically but I forgot to..

I have always used (on numerous bikes) the single-sided 6mm spacer that would not effect the intended chainline of said frame. but to answer your question - yes, if you did use 3mm spacers on each side of the rear wheel, it would change your chainline by 3mm

Ok, makes sense now, but if your rear wheel is off center by 3mm, wouldn't you just go around in circles? 😉

I can vouch for both front and rear boost adapter kits (I actually recommended this to austinbike) that they work fantastic. as long as you arent loosing the spacer(s) you'll never really be able to tell the difference, apart from having to re-dish the rear wheel (if you get the one-sided 6mm spacer for the 142 to 148mm conversion).

 

Thanks for the reply. So, (rear wheel) if I use a spacer on each side, the chain line will be off by 3mm, correct?  I was hoping not to re-dish because I use the wheelset on a non-boost bike also. I can see some problems a brewing (shifting), given my requirements.

That sounds like a great idea, need to track some of that down. In a real pinch I would think that even hose clamps could be used, but that is a pretty cheesy solution.

I need to do the same conversion.  The only issue I see is losing pieces when I switch wheelsets.  Have you spent any time on the bike since, and your thoughts now?

Thanks!  I just filled this out.  In general, I can't stand how the scooters are just littered about in neighborhoods throughout Austin so I'm in favor of any forum to provide feedback both pertaining to the trails and beyond. 

I'm with you.  I think the scooters should be required to place back in a designated paddock or get charged a recovery fee.  Yes, it would probably affect the ridership that the scoot folks would balk at, but this stuff is totally out of control.
